The incomparable Brandon Frame, @theblackmancan, will be interviewing Kailani about her work with New York Peace Institute and Restorative Practices.

Restorative practices have an important role to play in creating a strong sense of community, as well as responding to harm.

She has been leading New York Peace Institute’s work with young people for over four years, is a certified Circle Keeping Trainer, and a student of RP at IIRP graduate school.

Brandon Frame is the founder of TheBlackManCan, a nonprofit highlighting positive images of black men and boys. He is also the Director of Social Emotional Learning at the Urban Assembly, where Kailani launched one of NYPI’s first restorative justice programs. Brandon is a committed advocate and mentor, focused on inspiring and uplifting youth of color through his work.
